Microsoft COO Kevin Turner today mocked Apple by saying that, "It looks like the iPhone 4 might be their Vista and I'm okay with that." Comparing the iPhone 4 to Microsoft's less than stellar Windows Vista OS release, Turner made the comments during his keynote speech during Microsoft's Worldwide Partner's Conference in Washington D.C. While taking another shot at the iPhone, Turner also remembered to say some positive comments about the Redmond based firm's upcoming Windows Phone 7 operating system. The COO said, "One of things I want to make sure you know today is that you're gonna be able to use a Windows Phone 7 and not have to worry about how you're holding it to make a phone call." His comments were the same shot at the iPhone's "death grip" problem that Verizon and Motorola took in a recent full page ad for the Motorola DROID X that launches Thursday. Touching the lower left corner of the handset apparently results in the loss of signal strength, a problem that Apple claims is due to a software problem that results in inaccurate signal bar readings. In the early days of the problem, Apple CEO Steve Jobs derided those who felt that there was a hardware issue and told people that they were holding their iPhone incorrectly.

With reports swirling that a recall of the iPhone 4 would cost Apple $1.5 billion, the Cupertino based firm has announced a press conference for Friday at 10 am Pacific Time. The topic appears to be the iPhone 4 issue. It seems that the decision by Consumer Reports to not rate the phone until it is fixed has really lit a fire under Apple management. Hopefully, we will have the definitive word on the problem after this press conference and no one will be able to refute the final word-whatever it is.

crapple sucks i cant believe that they been makin freaking iphones since 2007 n they still cant get it right.. there is always something wrong with there iphones i have alwayz wondered why dont they fuckin test them before they release them??? is it that hard to do???

Ladies and gentleman, the product you have all been using has been or carefully designed global unity test project. You have all just taken part in a happening. The now we knows how people want to hold their iPhones while they talk, text and surf. Our databases have compiled the information and we will be dispensing the "official iPhone4 beta mark two A" August 12th. Pending a series of internal investigations and plausible lawsuits we expect delays to be minimal and the iPhone4 launch Erik take place add timely as possible. Most likely, you won't have as chance in hell of having one till November. And for those dedicated believers in my bile who have been so eager, patient and dumber than a bag of Hammers... the white iPhone4 will be treated with great integrity and released when we release i5. That's right folks, I'm proud to announce we ate jumping straight to i5. Look its white. By popular demand, Zechs we deliver or products with the highest if standards permitting we waive all restocking fees and lower our prices. The bonus is now we WILL be offering everyone.... are you ready fur thus? We are very proud to say that every one will be getting... no, ha.. not a free bumper... this is incredible... we at Apple will include a coupon to get fifty percent of the video apps "how to hold your iPhone". This is of course limited to the first second andt third generation of i4 and i5s. Its a great savings as it would normally be available for $97.99. My job is to stand here shoveling, ha so please don't ask the math on your savings. "
Found this Steve jobs practice speech for Friday in the back of a taxi that smelled of sex. . Let's see how the official tweaked version goes.

I dont think just offering free bumpers is really the answer because you still have a defective unit in your hands under that bumper... Free bumpers wont REALLY fix the problem... Will it stop the signal issue? Yeah it will... But one day you might need to take that bumper off for whatever reason (wear and tear?) and you'll have to go out and BUY one next time.
Even though a recall will hurt $$$ wise I think that's their best option... Their fans deserve no less.
And no I dont have an iphone I use android OS only unless something else catches my eye out there.

They don't care about their customers satisfaction, all they care about is their image, they will never admit their device is flawed.
Bottom line, don't expect a recall, that would mean their device is defective, they might offer free bumpers, but I think it will just be more of the same BS we've been hearing all along, just spun in a different way.
Steve Jobs is an egotistical maniac! I'm sure we all know someone like him, they have to be right and perfect ALL THE TIME!!

I bought an IPHONE when it first came out in Canada. I live in Toronto. I have had reception problems for over a year. I took it to an Apple Store for testing and they said it was fine. That was 12 months ago. It was still terrible. I had to get a second phone as a backup because it was always losing the Network. I also took it back to Rogers and complained and they tested it and said it was fine and told me to take it to Apple. So I got the runaround.
Now I am due for an upgrade and have to get rid of this original IPHONE. It is really bad.
But none of the other phone companies appear to have a library of apps that anywhere comes close to Apple.
I can't find anything on the X-10 apps. Do they have any?

My friend, my advice to you is run as fast as you can if your contract is up. The Android platform may not have as many apps as Apple, but they are growing. And when it comes down to it, would you rather have a device that works, or is hit or miss?

Android is catching up quickly in the apps department. So do you consider your iPhone to be a PDA or a cell phone first? If you can't use it a as a cell phone what good is it, except as a high tech toy for checking your email?

This antenna issue is more than just a "don't touch that spot" problem ... A work associate of mine just returned his iphone 4 within the 30 day return policy because - even with the cover he purchased with it - this weekend he was fishing in a more remote area and reception was lost on his iphone 4 but his spouses $30 phone on the same network had fine reception which he didn't get until half way back from his trip. In addition to this there seems to be a bluetooth problem reported today athttp://www.zdnet.com/blog/apple/add-bluetooth-to-the-iphone-4-list-of-woe-updated/7588?tag=nl.e589.
